I don’t believe our small village Merana (Piemonte) is mentioned in a lot of history books, but its history will not get lost thanks to the work of several villagers who collected old pictures and wrote their own (very local) history book about Merana and its people.
There are even lists of those who emigrated overseas. I wonder how many of their children and grandchildren know they come from this little place on the border of Piemonte and Liguria.
